Okay, so, for those who have read Part I, you would know that I have attempted hypnosis of turning into a pony before.

For those who have not, there is a google document and thread going around talking about hypnosis into a pony. I thought I would try it.

The first time I tried it, there were some technical and focus issues; the volume wasn't loud enough, the audio was compressed to a pretty low quality, and I wasn't in a ergonomically neutral position, so my trance broke.

Now, I have tried it again. Three times actually, for three different things.

First and foremost, after dealing with some family stuff yesterday, I scrounged up the time at night to try Fluttershy again. This time, I used the same file, and was in a more neutral position.

Basically, it didn't work at all this time.

Firstly, even though I jacked up the volume to near max, the compression on the file still made it really difficult to hear exactly what the Fluttershy 3.0 version narrator was saying. So that kinda corrupted my induction and made it harder to focus.

Secondly, my cat kept on jumping on and off the bad and sleeping next to me, so that entirely broke my induction before I even got to the hooves part. Bummer.

Today, I thought maybe I would try to secure a better understanding of getting inducted into a trance and getting suggestible more easily, so I collected all the important files; suggestibility aid, trance aid, deprogramming, and a helluva lot more pony hypnosis files for Twilight, Rarity, and the old Fluttershy 2.0 since I think it has better audio.

First, I tried the perfectly suggestible file. This greatly helped but I did it during the daylight so the effect didn't stick at all; the light would pierce my eyelids and remind me of my conscious self. I did eventually fall into a full trance and then became suggestible but it broke as soon as the file ended because of a volume change from one file to the next.

Then, I thought I would try a simpler body-focused hypnosis for Pony Ears.

This one was not as well paced as the actual pony files; it jumped way too fast into induction and kept on using the word "trance" which is strange because AFAIK you're not really supposed to use that but once or twice on a person you're inducting, so it made it hard to concentrate.

It also like ran straight into the ears transformation much to quickly. Even though I was much more relaxed and suggestible, I just couldn't force my sensory perception to change that fast. I did feel many of the sensations he described like the ears moving up my head and growing fur but they were weak, immediately erased by both the sensation of my headphones on my regular ears and the narrator's suggestion to touch them which would require physical movement, which would of course break the trance if one was not entirely suggestible.

I didn't touch them, but my trance broke by the time the file ended anyways and I couldn't even summon the effect on queue again. Disappointment.

This time I am going to try the Twilight Sparkle version, because my personality is greatly closer to hers and a horn must be significantly easier than wings to summon. I also have a different narrator for this.

But yes, these experiences were not as promising as before. I may end up trying to use another bed or lay on the floor or something, because I need to find a way to get completely into the trance like I did last time and my current situation isn't cutting it.

Some of the narrations on these files are kind of weak, too. Even though I'm a complete novice I just feel that they go way too fast for a good, solid induction to happen. I might end up looping the intros to the files myself in an audio program to make it significantly longer so I can have more time to be suggestible.

All in all, it's a worthwhile experience if you're interested, but it sure is a pain in the ass to get everything in working order, and it takes a ton of concentration, focus, and a good environment to really get anything interesting in terms of effects.

So wish me luck in the Twilight Sparkle induction. I hope this one works better than Fluttershy.
